5 hunks of hard yellow cheese, 5 loaves of travel bread, and 5 days of jerky.
I have used those 3 things to stay alive and fed, bribed, distracted animals, made friends with a werewolf, and successfully nauseated another because it was stinky cheese.
For me it's the shovel, and when I get enough spare funds, an Adamantine Shovel. You can literally dig your way out of most situations.
For magical item, I personally love the Decanter of Endless Water. I have yet to actually use the item in any way productive, but it'll come up some time!
Mundane - Paper/parchment, ink/quill, several changes of clothes, and a disguise kit; coupled with the Bluff, Disguise, and Linguistics skill, you've got all the forgeries and mock-personalities you need to worm your way into any social situation.
Magical - Hat of disguise (or as it's more commonly known among my people, the cloak of disguise).

Feather token (tree) is a must have item for my characters almost as soon as I can afford it. It has so many uses, that it just can not be underestimated.
I handed one to my players in Jade Regent and in the first book:

As it's an instantaneous effect, that tree can be used for other things too. Why take a feather token swan boat when you can just ride the tree over the water?
Need firewood? Feather token tree.
Druid need something to tree stride through? Feather token tree.
Need a ladder? Feather token tree!
A Tent.
Nothing is better then traveling around and when it starts to rain, to sit in your warm tent :D (While the other sitting outside in the rain with the bedroll^^)
